The Washington Commanders held their second practice of a shortened week as they prepare to host the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. Three players didn’t practice today as they continue to deal with injuries across the roster. DT Eddie Goldman suffered a concussion against the Giants, and is still not practicing. He’s trending towards missing his second game this season.
TE Colson Yankoff was also injured against the Giants last Sunday. He suffered a new ankle injury and hasn’t practiced all week. Yankoff has been a core special teams player, and has seen limited action on offense. The Commanders lost starter...

Against Minnesota, Daniels was shoved to the ground while pursuing linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, who had intercepted him. Daniels landed on his left elbow and stayed on the ground for a minute after the play before bouncing up and running to the sideline, clearly frustrated.
After the game, Quinn said Daniels could have returned to the game — he was never ruled out. But...

Adam Peters came to Washington with much fanfare.
Fresh off an NFC Championship game appearance in 2024, Peters decided to go all-in on the 2025 roster, mistakenly thinking the team was in win-now mode versus a rebuild done the RIGHT way.
The results – a bottom 10 team in the league and sitting home for the playoffs.
Now, injuries played a big part in Washington’s overall record this year, but could some better offseason planning have prevented this complete collapse?
Below I take a look as some of Peters’ moves, and debate what went right and what could have been...

The Commanders finally pulled out of the nose-dive in Week 15, with a 29-21 win over the New York Giants. The game showed that the Commanders still have the fight in them to bounce back from a disappointing shutout loss, and featured strong performances from rookie RB Bill Crosky-Merritt and PR Jaylin Lane, which bode well for a bounce back in 2026.
While the win will help to restore flagging confidence in the team’s direction in the near term, it also dealt a setback to the Commanders’ quest for a top-five draft pick. Entering Week 16, the Commanders sit in...

This week, Commanders running back Bill Croskey-Merritt has been nominated for the Pepsi Zero NFL Rookie of the Week award for his outstanding play in the team’s Week 15 victory over the New York Giants.
Many fans have been clamoring for the coaching staff to ‘play the youngsters’, and Bill came through with a big game for the second time this season against the NY Giants. This is a great chance for Commanders fans to spread the love and show appreciation for the rookie 7th round draft pick who has been a sensation and fan favorite since his arrival in...

Dan Quinn was back behind the microphone before the Washington Commanders started their short week practice schedule. They are back home and hosting the Philadelphia Eagles for the first of two games between the NFC East rivals over the last three weeks of the season.
Quinn announced yesterday that QB Jayden Daniels was getting shut down for the season. He’s still not medically cleared, and won’t play, despite wanting to get back on the field. Daniels said he’s frustrated, but he understands the decision since he’s not medically cleared from the elbow injury that he reaggravated two weeks ago. Daniels...

It wasn’t the sort of December celebration the Washington Commanders hoped to have this season. It was what they needed. After two months of nothing but losses, frustration and injuries, the Commanders could exhale, smile and congratulate one another again.
That it came vs. a New York Giants team with only two wins did not matter to Washington. The players hugged one another, laughed and smiled, creating scenes that resembled a team that had clinched a division title.
“We’re not trying to...

The Washington Commanders announced several roster moves this morning. Five players left the Giants game with one or more injuries, and two of them have been shut down for the season. WR Noah Brown left the game in the 1st quarter with a back injury, but was ruled out with a rib injury. He suffered a groin injury in Week 2, and was activated for the Week 14 game against the Vikings. Brown finished last season on IR with a lacerated kidney, and is likely done in Washington after an injury-filled second season.
Veteran WR Chris Moore was released before...
